Friday 11th November - Friends

Before departing from Cootamundra, we managed to get in touch with one of Cathy's high school friends (also named Cathy) who lives in Henty on the Olympic Highway in NSW. She was working in Albury in their Christmas shop, so we stopped there for a couple of hours to catch up on the latest news. Cathy's eldest daughter had just finished her final high school exam. We worked out it was 27 years since we had enjoyed the same moment. It hardly seems that long ago. As you can see, we haven't aged a bit!!!

Driving on south, Cathy left David at Beechworth to ride his bike the rest of the way to Milawa. He hadn't turned up even after she had backed the trailer onto the site so she whipped out the folding bike and cycled out to meet him 7-8km along the road. We both had earnt and enjoyed our meals at the Milawa Hotel.
